I would be persistent in checking eBay. Think of all the possible terms someone might list it under - tote, bag, carry on - and put them in your favorites so you get an email when something new is listed. There was one specific AA plate I wanted and it took about a year for me to finally see it on eBay.

This site also has vintage airline things, but prices tend to be higher and, as with eBay, you never know what they may have (no UA totes as present that I found).
